It might have more updates, and the story might have progressed beyond what was originally in A Goblin's Tale, but the scope of the game always felt very much limited to me. There are even locations and characters from A Goblin's Tale that haven't been used in The Rise of Vruk. Some of those assets might still find their way in the game ere the end, but if 0.19 truly is the final update, even though the story might have more of a resolution (by virtue of being planned and not abandoned), and some side characters might have been given marginally more content, the game itself will still be for the most part limited to what was in A Goblin's Tale.
It's just a shame that a game starts development and then doesn't finish. I've experienced this in many games. A Goblin's Tale is just one of many games I know... I just hope there won't be more games that end this way.
Yea some stuff wasn't used in The Rise of Vruk that was used in A Goblin's Tale, They went in a slightly different direction in certain scenes. New assets were made and different scenarios. Some similar and some not. The Rise of Vruk had some assets that weren't in A Goblin's Tale. Most of the assets in The Rise of Vruk are from A Goblin's Tale but that doesn't mean that made it on borrowed time. Killjoy added their own artistic flare to the project. That showed care instead of trying to pick up right where a goblin's tale ended. Right from the start the story is fleshed out for the sake of continuity (things fit more and make more sense like Vera getting addicted fast but everyone else needs time which is explained in trv but not gt) and soon after you meet two new characters that weren't in A Goblin's Tale. Yea alot was reused but even the stuff that was reused was tweaked.
I hope that doesn't happen. I'm not sure but it's not going down like a Goblin's Tale. It's going to get another update (idk exactly when but it's going to get here). Hopefully it does get more updates after, someone said the next is last but I haven't seen anything backing it up yet so I'm waiting to see.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all of you have had a wonderful holiday and I certainly hope the New Year is great for you! I'm posting this update to bring you some bad news. News that I wasn't ever expecting to have to, but due to life circumstances I am forced to. As you can probably guess, I am going to discontinue creating TROV. This is not to do with the game itself, I am quitting porn completely. There are two reasons for this: 1.) I have been very depressed lately and suicidal thoughts have been common. I did some testing on various aspects of my life, including not looking at porn or playing any porn game for a week and I found that the depression lessened and the thoughts of self deletion left entirely, only to come back shortly after I began again. Hence, I'm quitting porn for my mental health. 2.) I just recently acquired a girlfriend, one that I have known and respected for years now, and she hates porn. As I hold real life relationships in higher regard than anything else, I am also giving up porn to make things work with her. Now, I am not the type to do this for just any woman, but she is not just ANY woman, if you get my drift. Now you might be thinking: Killjoy, I paid for an update! Or: Killjoy, you said you would not abandon the game! To the first I say, no worries! I will finish what I can of this update and release for you guys. Tish's content is not done, but you will have Lara and Shannon's extra scenes. To the second I say the following: TROV started as a passion project for me. I loved writing the back story and the script. I laughed so hard at some of the stuff I wrote for Vruk and truly had a good time working on it for some time. I won't let it die, and I will keep my promise. I cannot work on it after this update, but I will not let the game be abandoned if I can help it!
If any of you have knowledge of RPGM MZ and would like to pick the game up, head over to my discord and DM me. I will send you everything. I will also, if you wish, write up a general storyline for you to follow.
Also, I will be handing my Discord server over to whoever takes over the game and will leave it shortly after. I will create another that is SFW and dedicated to SFW games and stuff. If you would like to join it, DM me when the time comes! I cannot express how sad this makes me, unhealthy or no, I wish I didn't have to drop the game. I also cannot express how much I appreciate all the support you guys have given me. You wonderful people kept me from becoming homeless more than once! I wish you all the best in your lives, and the best luck in all of your endeavors. I will finish the test build before the end of the month. As soon as you have it, unsub from my SS. I will close this thing down as soon as you all have the build and are gone. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

This is not good news... But health comes first...
I guess this is the end. Good luck to Killjoy tho, hopefully we'll never see him again because that would mean everything going good for him.
I would like him to do like Pupsi and after giving the update to his subs, release all the renders he already has to everyone as a goodbye.
Yeah, I like goblin games but it seems that they are cursed or something. There are three projects that seems good so far at least.
I think it's time for Vruk to rest. I don't know how exactly would the game continue with someone else vision. Killjoy adapt pretty good to Pupsi's game but there are some things that I prefered in Pupsi's version than him. Also using two or three guys as artists led to some discrepancy between renders.

Goblin games don't make any real money from patrons. Even me -- a person who enjoys gobbo games -- I don't pay for them.
Statistically not many games make that much money. People usually talk about the big ones because they are the big ones, it's kinda difficult for any kind of game to reach those numbers, even if it's just another "incest story where the son MC fucks his mother, sisters, aunts and cousins" game. TRoV made nearly 1k$ on subscribestar which is a decent amount and I'm sure if you browse the latest games from "Latest Updates", not many of them reach that amount. The problem is mainly what the dev does or promises. If people see that there's regular updates or there's a schedule that he meets, posts that explains how is the update going, writing of the game, art of the game, etc. There's tons of factors that makes people want to spend more or less. And if you think niche doesn't pay, ask any futa or furry artist.
